The Interplay of Light and Shadow

The Classics Moneta Moonphase by Frédérique Constant pairs a coin-inspired fluted bezel with a black dial, moon-phase display, and polished Dauphine hands. Its 37 mm case and five-year quartz movement combine timeless elegance with refined craftsmanship.

 

The fluted bezel of the Classics Moneta Moonphase was, as its name suggest, inspired by the finely ridged edge of a coin. The model’s golden case contrasts beautifully with the deep-black dial and a matching calfskin strap with alligator patterning. This interplay of light and shadow harmonizes perfectly with the cosmic aesthetic of the moon-phase display positioned at six o’clock. The central hands follow a vintage Dauphine design and feature a fine polish, while the deliberate omission of a seconds hand preserves the visual calm of the dial. The quartz movement offers an impressive power reserve of 60 months, or a full five years. With its 37 mm stainless-steel case, the model presents itself as a tastefully proportioned timepiece whose timeless elegance appeals to women and men alike. The Classics Moneta Moonphase stands as a harmonious fusion of style, functionality, and refined craftsmanship.
